TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
PE15A8000
The PE15A8000 is wideband general purpose RF coaxial gain block amplifier operating in the 0.05 GHz to 4 GHz frequency
range. The amplifier offers 23 dBm of P1dB, 26 dB of Gain, IP3 of 35 dBm. This exceptional technical performance is
achieved through the use of hybrid MIC design and advanced GaAs PHEMT devices. This gain block amplifier requires only a
single positive supply, typically a +12V DC power supply and includes built-in voltage regulation, is unconditionally stable and
operates over the temperature range of -40°C and +75°C.
